I ride as often as work lets me as I travel out of state . 400 miles is a good day of riding and I seldom come home with less than 300 miles. I ride in all kinds of weather and I ride alone most of the time. I find a direction and go . I do not over plan trips, I just ride, eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired. I don't have anyone to answer to ! I live where riding is premo !SC, Western NC, North GA, TN, The Blue Ridge, Skyline Drive etc. I often pack my backpacking gear and camp. I'm at most a 1/2 day to any of these places. I find most folks I know now  who ride are weekender's and fair weather riders all about getting someplace to look cool and forgetting that the ride is what is along the way. So I'm solo and don't ask anyone anymore to ride with me . I never ride two up, both of my bikes are solo.

I'm extremely new to riding (still do not have a license; though, I think I got about a hundred miles on the bike from just practicing) but I suspect I'll us the bike mostly to get back and forth to work.
I do already have an offer to go down to the OPH for a ride with a working buddy - when I'm licensed and comfortable with my skill level.

Ride solo a good bit but love to ride with others when I get a chance.

Most of the time by myself, because I work nights in my part time job and some afternoons in my mechanics job, my riding time is limited.  When I can do anything it is usually running errands on the bike(s) or when I need time away from the shop to rethink a problem I am having.  And because most people work days, when I have time to ride, it makes it difficult.

Hi I'm new to all of this. But was looking for people that love their Drifter as much as I do. Looks like I came to the right place.  I ride most of the time with 1 friend he has a 05 Vulcan 2000 and we get a few others now and then.  We do at least 2 trips a year plus locl riding.  I have a 2002 Drifter with 6000 miles on it , just purchased about a month ago but just feel in love with it.  My other bike is a 01 Harley 1200 custom boy what a difference. Any way I'm in the Washington area anyone wanting someone to ride with drop a line and we'll see if we can meet up.  Later Tom

I started this poll, because I wanted to discover if others are like me... ride alone (or two-up) most of the time. And, I am considering developing resources specifically for these lone riders. Looks like there are a bunch of us, so I may proceed with this.

Cheers.

I've noticed that too!  Seems like I'm about the only one of my riding friends that thinks it takes at least 30 miles to begin to find the comfortable spot in the seat!

Most of the time my wife and I ride alone ( two up). But we are always looking to find people to ride with . The problem is when we go out for a ride we put 100 miles plus on the bike. Or we make a weekend trips to the east or west coast ( Florida). Most of the riders we know ( harley owner)
think 15 miles between bars is a long way.

Maybe Drifter riders are confident in and of themselves, not needing the approval of others, while HD riders............ (Did he actually say that?!)

(I used to ride an HD, so I can say that, can't I?)

I'm finding a majority of us Drifter riders ride alone, or with a passenger only. This is in sharp contrast to my hd buddies who rarely ride without others.

Very interesting.

Cheers.
